On a special show today, I had the chance to talk with Social Media Maven, Chris Brogan and his new book coming out in August called, Trust Agents.
He advises businesses, organizations, and individuals on how to use social media and social networks to build relationships and deliver value. Chris speaks, blogs, writes articles, and makes media of all kind, His blog is in the top 20 of the Advertising Age Power150, and in the top 100 on Technorati. He has 77,000 followers on Twitter. He is truly a member of the Twitterati Elite..I finally had a chance to meet him at SOBCON a few months back. Chris is a man that has taught me so much about social media by reading his posts and tweets and, watching is his video.
Listen now as We talked about:
How Chris went from Ramen noodles to 4 star hotels after 10 years of hard work.
When to be careful when marketing your product…how when someone sticks out their hand, you should not put your tongue in their mouth.
Why social media is a big giant picnic!
